Update list #122
BATTLEGROUNDS
- The anti-AFK system on Battlegrounds has been reworked. Now, if a player receives 2 reports, a special aura is immediately applied to them for 3 minutes (5 minutes on Alterac). If the player does not engage in combat with another player during this time, they will be removed from the Battleground. Upon receiving 5 reports, the player will be forcibly kicked.
- If a player is on a Battleground and logs into the game with another character in a second window, they will be automatically removed from the Battleground and marked as a deserter.
- An issue where reports of inactivity might not have been counted has been fixed.
- The duration limit of battles on Alterac has been increased from 50 minutes to 60.
- The player distribution system has been improved.
- Now players have only 15 seconds to accept an invitation to a PvP battle. Reducing the timer is necessary to improve the distribution system.
- The health points of creatures in Alterac have been increased by 20%.
- The Horde general in Alterac has been strengthened to improve faction balance.
- When the general has 90% HP remaining, the allied team receives a notification that the general is under attack.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug preventing the placement of battle chests on the auction.
- Fixed a bug with equipping two unique rings/trinkets. Players who had items with restrictions equipped will have the items sent to them via mail.
- Fixed an issue with empty loot from [Ghost Chest]. Players who received empty loot were sent keys and chests via mail.
- Fixed the reduction in the cost of healing spells from [Elune's Lifegiver].
- Spells stolen using [Spellsteal] no longer trigger cooldowns. Fixed a bug where a mage couldn't use their own [Presence of Mind] after using a stolen one.
- Fixed periodic damage from burning objects worldwide. Fire from burning towers in Alterac now damages players and is displayed in the combat log.
- Fixed a bug preventing the capture of points in Eye of the Storm after a relog.
- Fixed a bug that prevented flag recapturing on Alterac.
- Fixed a bug with flag guards in Alterac that could remain in combat stance after respawning.
- If a mage's target has no spells that can be stolen using [Spellsteal], mana will not be expended. Fixes a bug with aura shirts.
Other Changes
- If the target is lost while using an ability from invisibility, the invisibility will not be removed. This fixes the desynchronization issue where rogues and druids would exit invisibility when attacking a target that managed to disappear at the moment of ability use.
- The invisibility detection refresh timer is restored to its default value - 500 ms (was 200 ms).
- [Morphing Shirt "Headless Horseman"] removed from the game due to model issues. Compensation of 350,000 gold will be sent via mail to players who owned this shirt.
- [Goblin Weather Machine - Prototype 01-B] removed from the game. Compensation of 30,000 gold will be sent via mail to players who owned this item.
- If a player labeled as a deserter in 3x3 mode due to a large number of dislikes attempts to enter a 3x3 arena before it begins, the match will automatically end in a draw.
After installing the update, it is necessary to completely close the game and delete the Cache folder (where Wow.exe is located). This is required to apply some changes.
